Avocado cilantro (coriander) dip, my version of guacamole style flavours but as a thick dipping sauce - perfect with seafood such as prawns.
So.....cilantro - in Australia we call it coriander - I don't know why, but we just do. (Just to explain!)
Think of a kind of communal prawn cocktail - no need for individual serves, just plonk your prawns & avocado cilantro dip side by side on the table & watch them go! You could of course create single serves if you want, just spoon the dip on to the prawns like you would marie rose sauce/thousand island dressing for a fresh, zingy prawn cocktail with a mild hum of chilli.
The fresh flavours of avocado, lime & cilantro in the dip means it would also pair well with chicken. You can also feel free to up the amount of chilli if you want - I have deliberately made this dip quite mild. My theory on chilli is that it's a bit like salt in that it should be "to taste" because some people like more heat than others.
Take your prawn cocktail up a notch,
